A series regarding three years of surgery is analysed with regard to the preparation of four sequential by-passes out of 23 aorto-bifemoral revascularisations. Indications and the eminently technical aspects are discussed, the latter consisting of the adoption of two types of different prostheses sutured one to the other, such as the Dacron and the PTFE prostheses, which proved to be very compatible and long-lasting. The results were excellent as is testified by the follow-up.
